THE STAND.
WHITNEY: A LOT A BIG
DEVELOPMENTS TODAY AND THAT IS
EXACTLY RIGHT.
CURRENTLY THE DEFENSE IS IN THE
MIDDLE OF CLOSING STATEMENT,
SAYING IF THE JURY FINDS DALIA
DIPPOLITO GUILTY, THAT IS THE
SAME AS BEING IN FAVOR OF POLICE
CORRUPTION.
THIS HAS BEEN A LONG DAY FOR THE
JURORS.
THEY'VE SEEN NEW EVIDENCE
DESPITE OBJECTIONS FROM THE
DEFENSE.
A JUDGE ALLOWED PROSECUTORS TO
SHOW THE 2009 RECORDING OF DALIA
DIPPOLITO REACTING TO THE STAGED
CRIME SCENE.
THE VIDEO, WHICH WAS POSTED TO
YOUTUBE, SHOWED DIPPOLITO
SCREAMING AND CRYING WHEN POLICE
TOLD HER THAT HER NOW-EX-HUSBAND
HAD BEEN KILLE
DIPPOLITO'S DEFENSE ATTORNEY
BRIAN CLAYPOOL SAYS IT WAS BAD
POLICE PRACTICE TO POST THE
VIDEO BEFORE HIS CLIENT WAS
ARRESTED.
BUT CLAYPOOL ARGUES THE
FAME-HUNGRY POLICE DEPARTMENT
WENT AHEAD WITH IT ANYWAYS AND
EVEN ALLEGED OFFICERS USED
THREATS TO FORCE HER EX-LOVER TO
BECOME THEIR CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMANT AND CLAIMS INTEGRAL
AUDIO RECORDINGS WENT MISSING.
CLAYPOOL SAYS HIS LAW
ENFORCEMENT EXPERT'S TESTIMONY
ONLY REINFORCES HOW THE
DEPARTMENT MISHANDLED THE
EVIDENCE IN THIS CASE.
>> OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT EXPERT
TESTIFIED THAT THE VIDEO TAPES
THE WHOLE WORLD IS FIXATED ON
, THAT THOSE ARE CONTAMINATED,
THAT THEY'RE TAINTED AS A RESULT
OF AN INVESTIGATION THAT
CATEGORICALLY LACKED ANY
INTEGRITY.
WHITNEY: BUT DURING THE STATE'S
CLOSING STATEMENTS THEY SAID
DIPPOLITO IS NO VICTIM.
SHE WAS DEAD SERIOUS ABOUT
HIRING A HITMAN TO KILL HER
